That day at Yunwu Mountain, when I mentioned my marriage to Shu Rong, he seemed not to believe it and said that you would not marry your daughter to me. Why is this?"
Sun Chengyu was startled and hurriedly explained: "My lord, don't get me wrong, Xingyang treats Shu Rong as his own sister.
Maybe when I first heard that she was going to marry you, the prince, Xingyang found it difficult to accept it for a while. Don't worry, I will have a good talk with him and explain it clearly."
Xiao Chengyi said: "That's good. I can rest assured that Mr. Sun is doing his job. If there's nothing else, just go ahead and do your work."
Sun Chengyu excused himself and wiped the sweat from his head after leaving the door.
In the past few days, he had been so happy that he had forgotten about Sun Xingyang. He knew very well what Xingyang was thinking about his daughter.
Now that Shu Rong is getting married, he has not told him yet, and this matter cannot be hidden, so we must find a way to appease him.
After thinking about it, Sun Chengyu had an idea. He sent someone to send a message to Sun Xingyang, asking him to go to the city.
When it was getting dark, Sun Xingyang came. He went straight to the study and greeted Sun Chengyu respectfully: "Father."
Sun Chengyu hurriedly helped him stand up: "Yang'er." He patted Sun Xingyang's arm and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm getting stronger."
Sun Xingyang said: "My adoptive father also looks very energetic." As he said that, he asked curiously: "When I came here, I saw the house was decorated with lights, but is there any happy event?"
Sun Chengyu sighed and said: "It's Shu Rong. The regent became immoral after drinking and took away Shu Rong's innocence. She had no choice but to marry the regent."
"What?"
Sun Xingyang was shocked: "How could this happen? When did this happen? Why didn't Shu Rong tell me?"
Sun Chengyu said: "When you were in Yunwu Mountain, how did you take care of the eldest lady? Why didn't you protect her?"
Sun Xingyang looked shocked: "Shurong and I drank with the regent that day, and then we drank too much for some reason."
As he spoke, he drew out his sword and said, "I'm going to kill the regent. How dare he humiliate Shu Rong like this!"
"Yang'er."
Sun Chengyu grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive. He is the regent. He has already killed my son, and now he wants to forcefully marry my daughter.
Although our Sun family has 50,000 soldiers and horses, we are still unable to defeat the imperial court's million-strong army.
I heard that General Mu returned to the court with a large army stationed in the north. If we move the regent, the consequences will be disastrous.
Right now we can only accept this marriage to save our Sun family and those 50,000 soldiers.
Yang'er, my Sun family is sorry for you. I originally wanted to assign Shu Rong to you, but who would have thought that a regent would be killed halfway? I am ashamed of you.
But don't worry, now that Wei'er is dead and Shu Rong is married, all the Sun family's property will be yours from now on, and your adoptive father will definitely choose a noble girl for you."
Sun Xingyang looked sad: "But foster father, I only like Shurong."
Sun Chengyu said: "If you really like her, don't hurt her. If the regent finds out about your relationship with Shu Rong, then we will all be ruined. Do you understand?"
Sun Xingyang clenched his hands into fists and punched the wall, causing blood to flow out.
Sun Chengyu hurriedly held his arm and asked, "What are you doing?"
Sun Xingyang lowered his head and murmured: "I am useless and did not protect Shu Rong. Maybe Shu Rong and I are not destined to be husband and wife."
As he said that, he cupped his hands towards Sun Chengyu and said, "Father, I stayed in the Sun family all because of Shu Rong. Now that he is getting married, I feel really sad.
You'd better let me go, if I go far away I won't be so sad."
